Pershing Square, founded in 2004, also is considering an IPO that most likely wouldn't happen until 2025 at the earliest.
(Reuters) -Billionaire Bill Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management is finalizing a roughly $1-billion funding round with institutional investors and family offices as well as eyeing an initial public offering (IPO) in the future, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday. Investors are valuing the firm, which has $16.3 billion in assets, at $10.5 billion, the source added. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Pershing's funding round and IPO plans.
